    Just did an install on windows server.

    I can get to pages when the permalinks are stet to the intial settings. When I change to custon settings with /%category%/%pagetitle%/ the links look like the are ok, but when I click on a link to a page then I get a not found.

    Any ideas why they don’t work.

    Hey dnorth,

    The initial settings is pure (as pure as WP can be) table settings for the MsQyl database you’ve setup; they probably end in ?p=23 or some number.

    The permalinks setup for WP to make them “pretty” does not support the tag %pagetitle%. The closest match for what you’re looking for is likely %postname%.

    The Codex has a full listing of the options and some brief instructions on how to use them:

    Cheers.
